How We Use Information We Collect

Carl A. Nelson & Company (CANCO) values your trust and respects your privacy. As such, we are committed to maintaining the confidentiality of our client’s or subcontractor’s information. Information we collect during an engagement is considered “Confidential” (provided this information is not already available in the public domain) and is only shared with or distributed to entities that are providing client/project specific supporting services to CANCO. We do not share, sell or distribute information you have designated as “Confidential Information” with any outside third party unless contractually or legally required to do so.

When providing sensitive information to CANCO, we will only utilize this information for the purpose for which you submitted it to us. Once the information is no longer needed, it will be properly disposed of. Personal information will not be shared with other parties unless we are contractually or legally required to do so.

During the course of our normal business operations we conduct extensive research and collect data available within the public domain on a variety of subjects including areas which may be related to client business plans, strategies, or objectives. Information we collect through public domain sources may not be subject to the terms of this privacy policy. Additional information that is not protected by this policy is information posted in the public domain for the purpose of soliciting subcontractor participation on project bids.

We may use information you submit to enhance your experience with our service offerings. Information provided on client surveys may be used for marketing purposes but only if we receive specific approval from you to do so. We may also use the information you provide for internal purposes. These purposes include administration of our website, data analytics and compliance with law or legal process and our policies and procedures.

We may offer visitors various links to third part sites for informational purposes. These links may change from time to time and are always pre-screened for appropriate content. However, since links are provided to external entities of which we have no control, we are not responsible for the content or privacy policies of these third party sites. Use of links and related content is at your sole discretion and responsibility.
